Solving the Conventional Manufacturing Problem.
Conventional manufacturing is slow, costly, and offshore-dependent:
Castings and forgings require tooling, long lead times, and add supply risk.
Machining is flexible but wasteful and expensive at scale.
Conventional additive is too slow, costly, and geometry-limited.
Optical Mount printed in stainless steel with no design modifications, delivered at better cost than domestic machining.
Seurat's Area Printing Solution.
High-volume, low-cost, fully local production.
Flexible supply: precursors for machining or finished parts direct from the printer.
340 patents and trademarks, granted or pending, protecting a breakthrough approach that decouples speed from resolution.
Saving You Time & Money.
Competitive US supply of precursors and finished parts; less offshore reliance; lower post-processing.
No CapEx or tooling; faster delivery improves cash flow and reduces WIP.
Faster launches and pilots; quick product variants; integrate new features.
Design flexibility; near-net shapes or finished parts with built-in features.
Short lead times; tariff-resilient; scale from pilots to steady production without tooling.

Area Printing combines strong performance across design flexibility, post-processing, supply chain flexibility, and sustainability while maintaining competitive throughput, feature fidelity, material quality, and economics.
Why Area Printing is Different.
Seurat is bringing additive manufacturing (AM) into mainstream production, not just for finished parts like fasteners but also for near-net shape precursors that replace castings and rough machining. Unlike conventional AM, Area Printing scales existing parts as-is, without forcing design changes. And when it’s time to capture the full advantage of additive, we’ll help you bring breakthrough designs to life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Seurat producing parts today?
Yes. Seurat is in production with a global optics OEM on a stainless steel T-nut, with 100,000 units under a long-term agreement. The T-nut's threads are printed as-built, with no tapping, tooling, or secondary operations, and it outperforms US machining on cost and efficiency.
